Item Details
Description
This brass votive figure statuette, measuring 4.3 cm by 2.5 cm by 1.7 cm (approximately 1.69 inches by 0.98 inches by 0.67 inches), is a representation of a Buddha from the 20th century. The statuette features the Buddha in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, which is the "earth-touching" gesture. This posture represents the moment of the Buddha's awakening as he claims the earth as the witness of his enlightenment. The surface is finished with lacquer, which has been used traditionally to protect and give shine to brass statues. This figure is indicative of the religious artifacts produced during the 20th-century revival of Buddhist art in Southeast Asia, most likely from regions such as Thailand or Myanmar. Such statuettes are often used in personal altars for devotion, meditation, and as a reminder of the Buddha's path to enlightenment. The lacquer finishing is a testament to the enduring local practices of statue ornamentation.
